and calls MOSCOW" one season and "Con-
stsntinople" the next. His show consists
in the bOmbardment Of the city or the
blowing up of It, all with roman candles,
sky rockets and bombs, in Q manner not
at all faithful to facts, but exceedingly
brilliant and beautiful to behold. Citi-
zens and soldiers fly about, boats move
to and fro, the air is full of gorgeous
missiles, houses cape, belch forth colored
flames and fall, amid q din of explosion,
kissing and shouts. Crowds pack the
place every night except Sundays.
You notice how often the word
"crowds" has occurred in this article. It
should do so, for of all the distinctive
features of Coney Island its crowds form
the chief one. To see the biggest one we
must leave the high-priced end of the
island-but no, not without q glance at
the Manhattan Beach bathing establish
ment, with its 1900 dressing-rooms and
its tiny little bit of natures beach,
backed by an amphitheatre where, for
ten cents, you may have seat and watch
the bathers. 1t will disappoint you, how
ever. Bathing is not enjoyed except at
great disadvantage at Coney Island. 1t
is not what we go there for.
To get to the crowded end OF the

is no other route than by the Marine rail-
road, little monopolistic road on piling
that crosses an inlet that divides the
island. 1t is railway on stills, about two
or three city blocks in length, that exacts
five cents toll of all who attempt to see
the island. It sometimes carries $4,000
persons in day-it often carries &c, 900.

FRESH FASHION NOTES.

Some Of which are Perhaps . Little too
Fresh.
Ladies' hats are now large enough to be
seen with the naked eye.
Pelerines trimmed with beaded epauletts
and bugles arepopular. The pelerines should
not be killed before they are six weeks old,
q they are tough before that age.

but the old style silver quarter is In - much

Handkerchiefs are now made Of tiny squares
Of batiste or foulard, cut low in the neck,

cottage life and the vague but delightful
pleasures afforded by the beaches that
other places possess, but that the sea has
ruthlessly stolen from this one.
Beginning at the Manhattan Beach end
of the island where those 70 who have fat
or at least moderate purses, we find two
hotels surrounded by lawns of fine hair
like grass, forced to grow, against nature,
almost to the wooden edge that shuts out
thOsea. One of these hotels is avoided
by the crowd, for no one, not guest,
may enter 1t, and it offers no music or
other attraction outside. 1t is an elegant,
exclusive resort for rich persons who
cannot venture beyond quick call from
New York. The other seems to swarm
with people, inside and outside. Hun
dreds are forever dining on its broad
piazzas and in its public dining halls,
while its own guests almost make up the
full quota of regiment. Suites of rooms
here are let out to New York clubs and
the best known names in town are on the
register. A busy railroad empties its
half hourly trains in one end Of the build
ing, and In front of the mammoth pile,
every afternoon, Gilmore's band plays in
Q little band-stand built like Q sea
shell, or half giant saucer, to send out the
melody far and wide. You should see
the crowds when the band plays! In
the first place, there are benches for
$500 persons, free, gratis; then there is q
shifting, moving, restless mass Of 1000
men behind and around the benches
then there are thousands ON the broad
piazzas, some city blocks In length (for
these Coney Island hotels are mammoth
structures), and then there are people in
al the windows.
